Since I started journaling this journey

I am going to attempt to catch up with my journey of PAIN and discontentment. I started searching for answering in Feb. 2011 as these "symptoms" begin to spiral out of control, it became harder to get up and go and the PAIN intensified.
3-28-11 Monday
Got out of bed about 0328am for the second time with shortness of breath, choking, gagging and spitting up. The first time I woke up it was because of the pain in my BACK and arms which was about #9. Awake again @ 0520 with low back pain still at #9. At 0815am back in spasms and in throbbing pain - 10+ hello Monday :-(
@ 1:30pm the pain was still so great I went back to bed. So sleepy, I can't go to sleep because of the PAIN. I took off my shirt, because it was irritating just because it was touching me. I cry, I pray, I anoint myself with oil. Flashbacks of the past, Lord take them away, How DID all this get started. Deep stabbing burning pain in my neck, back and shoulders 10+. Intense burning pain in breasts and lymph nodes #9. Sitting on the side of the bed in the middle of the afternoon rocking back and forth, the pain won't go away. Thoughts racing, can't focus on nothing but the PAIN. I know I got things to do, calls to make, a job to try to save, but the PAIN is taking over. Feels like I got hit inside by a Tsunami.
My body is tired but PAIN won't let me lay down. I am sleepy, my brain needs rest, but PAIN is running rampant. For this moment, right now, PAIN is winning,... but God. Lord please, I anointed myself.
